OK so this is how it is looking so far - any more for any more!

That is looking great, we have about 9 songs in the set lasting approx 30-40 minutes,although that can obviously be shortened to fit in with the event if necessary

I was hoping for aound 40 (give or take) minutes if that's OK - I will open up and introduce the gig so at the moment with you guys and CJ and HB and Steve T we should have about 3 hours worth of music(?) and I am inviting some more local people to maybe do an open mic piece as well - time permitting.  Assuming all goes to plan we should get a fair bit of local publicity.  I am going down there in a while and will shoot a short video so you can all see what the place looks like and where we will set up the gear.

provisionally including -

Lost Dog Blues, In my time of dying, You Got to Move, Vigilante Man and two or three othres i am working on.

Ok sounds good to me - especially Steve Slowpaw!  I don't have one either which is why I haven't put myself on the list MrRW is a bit long winded and not very bluesy!

Hi Brian

This is sounding good - If I can get there as a spectator I will. Bit of a drag from Kent but hey-ho it'll be worth it if I can get off work on the Monday.

I've got a few HGMC flyers left over from a recent festival I attended/leaflet-dropped here in Rochester, what I'll do is stick 'em in the post to Chickenbone John and he can bring them with him and hand them out on the day.

If I don't make it fella, have a great day - post some video on here so that we can all enjoy it!

Catch up with you in West Brom later in the year, if not before.

Hi Malcolm

 

well you wouldn't be the only traveller from Kent as 2 of your nearly neighbours in Sidcup are playing! So maybe you could hook up.  The more the merrier as with all these things.  Lesley will be filming it again as part of her ongoing documentary project but I am sure some videos will land on the internet

 

Cheers

 

Brian

Hey guys - here's a thing - I contacted the guy who is running the Ashburton Blues Festival this month  (Muddy Waters Jnr, Wilko Johnson and The Pretty Things headlining) to ask whether he has considered CBG music for any of the fringe gigs - his reply:

"Hi Brian - I'm ashamed to say I'm not aware of  CB Guitars, until now!  Some of them sound great. If I'm around for your Festival I'll come over and check it all out.

Do say 'hello' at Ashburton"

 

At least he is honest - so I had better get down there and spread the gospel!
